   I know people use chat bots differently and I get that companies see value in personalization, but to me it is extremely valuable that I can start a chat without context.

   When researching a topic a chatbot can be quite sensitive to certain wording and those can end up steering definitions. Two context free chats on the same topic can go in very different ways depending on how you word things, but when using the notebook feature in Gemini, where every chat becomes part of the context you completely lose the ability to discover if a topic is vaguely defined or have many definitions.

      2 context free chats can go in very different ways even with the same words sometimes!

      I personally like the option to have context free chat or chats with memories. What I dont want is a chat based on memories that I didn't explicitly consent to (ie browsing history etc)
